Stuff to read while you're eating your cereal. A blog on history, archaeology, science, technology, and whatever else I happen to be interested in. Be sure to follow me on Twitter! @ModernCerealBox

Why ‘Modern Cereal Box’?

In the old days before smart phones, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, people like myself would read cereal boxes as we ate breakfast. Sometimes the boxes would just have boring pictures of laughing families populated by models on them. But the good ones would have games, or, if you were very lucky, fun facts.

This is a blog of things I like to read, and things I enjoy writing about. It’s a blog of fun facts and interesting news written in a few paragraphs and rarely time sensitive. These are the things I like reading about now as I eat my breakfast, and I hope you do to.
